Responsibilities

As the studio Design Director, I established the vision, led the design team, and helped create a fully playable demo for this unannounced action-adventure sandbox game with famous characters. 

• ​Player champion on a third-person metaverse game with beloved characters from a high-profile IP holder

• As the design stakeholder and Feature Owner, I led the Design Team and directed the player experience across all social spaces and game zones

• As a design contributor, I built and delivered design pitches, created game design documentation and storyboards, engaged in hands-on prototyping in C#/Unity, and managed our partner asset libraries

• As the Design Guild Leader, I recruited, mentored, and managed a diverse team of 10 game designers, level designers, UX designers, and technical designers.

• We delivered an engaging, multiplayer game demo with a mix of sandbox and directed gameplay.

The project was paused while the IP holder worked out its metaverse strategy and that unfortunate timing ultimately led to a studio closure.
